A choke for all ages

Certainly the kids have to shoulder a lot of responsibility. Perry and Adel. Unconscionable decisions late. No thought process.
 
Win tonight and we are a lock for the NCAA. But with an epic choke job like that, we are on the wrong side of the bubble. Unless they make a deep run in the ACCT we are NIT bound.
 
The crazy thing is, the only thing they had to do on the last inbound was throw it deep. Even if Virginia intercepts the pass, so what! They would still be 50 feet or so from their basket. That one is on Padgett for not setting that up.

Not fool proof. Adel would have probably thrown it out of bounds untouched giving it back to Virginia for an in-bounds play under our basket.
 
It was a series of unfortunate and ill timed mistakes. A perfect storm, if you will. Credit UVA. They extended the game, executed late, and got a little lucky. Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug.

Even bugs haphazardly hitting a windshield are smarter than the way we performed the last minute of the game.

If it went untouched, UVA would have got the ball in the same place they got it on the last play. Under their own basket.

Regardless, it wasn't as fool proof as it is being suggested. He would have been better off just skipping the pass off of someone's leg (either side). That would have started the clock and it would have run out.
